What Is Claircognizance And How Is It Done?

Claircognizance means 'clear knowing'.
It is the inner sense of just knowing. Claircognizance is usually
used for communication, that's psychic or mediumistic communication.
A clear sense of knowing can also occur during a premonition or
strong intuition. Lets explore what claircognizance feels like and
how to develop this sense.

These 'clairs' are methods of
communication, either psychic (communicating with souls incarnate,
for example, human) or mediumistic (communication with entities
discarnate, for example, loved ones passed over).

Claircognizance can sometimes be
confused with clairsentience. Here's an example to illustrate this.
Once, when I was relaying spirit communication to
someone, I gained the feeling (clairsentience) that I was patrolling
the streets and that I was wearing a uniform. At the very same time,
I knew (claircognizance) that I was a policeman. It was a
sense of distinct knowing. Often mediumistic communication comes
through as the experiencing being the deceased person in their
former life, and this was one such example.

What Does Claircognizance Feel Like?

I knew I was a policeman, it was like I
was a policeman. Therefore claircognizance feels like;

- You just know something to be the
case.

- This knowing may not correspond with
your normal personality or circumstances, it can seem foreign to you.

- A sense of just knowing something
will come out of nowhere. You didn't have a trail of thought leading
to it, it simply popped into your mind.

- It is something you didn't already
know, or that you weren't sure about.

- When you ask a question of spirit
guides, you just know the answer.

Claircognizance, as with all the
'clairs' can be very subtle and mistaken for your own thoughts and
ideas. However, by using the points above, over time, you can get to know
when claircognizance is occurring.

Claircognizance is very useful when
performing mediumship. A medium will constantly draw on a
sense of knowing; this is often easier to decipher than a lot of
clairvoyant images. A combination of each of the 'clairs' is usually
used during mediumship for more efficient and effective
communication.

Who Is Communicating With You?

When claircognizance occurs as a result
of communication, you can suspect it is originating from any of the following sources, depending on your intentions. You can receive communication
from:

- Other incarnate people (usually
unknowingly, however you can read them psychically or communicate
with each other telepathically with training).

- Animals.

When Claircognizance Is Not Communication

Claircognizance is generally the term
used for gaining a sense of knowing via communication from an incarnate or discarnate entity, the higher self, spirit guides and so
on. But claircognizance, being a 'paranormal' sense of knowing, also
comes about under other circumstances. For example, you might have a
terrible sense of knowing that a negative event is going to happen.
This would be classed as a premonition. Premonitions are received in various ways; visually (for example, like a flashback, but of the future), via
feelings (for example a sense of dread), a sense of knowing (knowing
that an event will occur and it does), or in dreams.

In addition, less vivid or emotionally
charged than a premonition, your intuition can present as a sense of
knowing about something.

You may even experience a sense of
knowing as a form of remembering. If you have, for example, worked as
a car mechanic in a previous lifetime, these skills and knowledge may
bleed through and you could find yourself knowing a lot more about
car mechanics than you thought!

The Akashic Records is the great mass
bank of information, an eternal and infinite record of everything
that has, is, or ever will occur. It is interwoven with the very
fabric of our energetic reality. It is everywhere. You can therefore,
pick up information from these records via claircognizance. During meditation, set the intention to tune in to the records and ask
questions. Wait for the claircognizant knowing to pop into your mind
and then delve deeper and deeper.

When you are in the presence of a
friend or workmate for long periods of time, you find yourselves finishing each other's sentences. This is telepathy, occurring
unknowingly of course. However, claircognizance is at work because
you just know what the other person is about to say!

How to Practice Claircognizance

Meditation is key. It helps to develop
all the 'clairs'. Frequent meditation quiets and calms the mind,
restoring it to it's natural balanced state. In this way we're better
able to filter out stimulus that's not received via claircognizance.
We can better discern our own thoughts and ideas from those that seem
to come from nowhere, as if popped into your mind by some
external force.

Meditation can be used to listen to
creation. Over time we become wiser and wiser, and have more
and more realizations. After a year or so of meditation, look back on
yourself a year ago and contemplate the difference in your level of
consciousness, knowledge and intelligence. I think you'll be
surprised. Much of the knowing you have received arrived via
claircognizance.

Try keeping a journal of your
claircognizant communication or intuitions. This way you can keep
track of information coming through and identify any patterns that
emerge. You can better understand when it's your own thoughts and
ideas, and when the knowing seems to originate from external sources.

Remember that claircognizance is
subtle, so work on observing the 'What Does Claircognizance Feel
Like?' section above, and over time, get to know when claircognizance
is occurring.

As with the other 'clairs',
claircognizance in another inner sense for your tool box. Everyone is
different and many find that claircognizance is not their primary
sense. They prefer another of the 'clairs'. In this case,
claircognizance is used in conjunction with the other senses for a
richer, deeper experience and to gain insight and wisdom to help you
to progress. Please use this sense in love and understanding.
